Best Hotels near Palacio de Congresos de Ibiza, Santa Eularia Des Riu

First impressions of you look from afar are great, it’s when you get closer and this is a hotel trying to appeal to the higher end of the market with a cheap refurb. Negatives: * Offer snacks and drinks at reception or within the lobby area, especially for late arrivals. * Explain the facilities available and where to access them. * Add a welcome leaflet in the room with key information such as meal options for non all inclusive guests. * Offer recommendations for food and general local amenities. * 1 bottle of water complimentary, put it in the fridge or have 2 one chilled and one not. * Fix the aircon, on the lowest setting the rooms are still warm and uncomfortable. * One staff member behind the day bar was very rude when it came to learning I was a staff member of Leonardo Hotels, he did not want to add the staff discount. He also put my food order through wrong, I ordered a cheeseburger but he bought a chicken burger out. Not sure if he even applied the discount as it was €12. I noticed he was rude to a few customers during his shift - 17/10/23. * Couldn’t ask about late check out until the morning of check out. Offers should be purchasable at booking. Would also promote direct booking. * Style of the rooms are an attempt to modernise but unfortunately you can tell this was done at a low budget. The rooms are what would class as standard hotel rooms. * Staff could benefit from some customer service training to provide a more comfortable stay. Positives: * Location is great for access to the beach. Special gate for access to and from beach from day bar area. * Outdoor areas are perfect for sunlight all day. * Two bars one for day and one for night - Changed at 7pm. * Food available at the bar for non AI. * Good selection of drinks. * Checking in and out was quick. * Good size pools which match size of hotel. * Cleanliness of the hotel was to a high standard.

Impeccable hotel, the first room had displeased us facing the air conditioning network at the reception we changed it without problem. The meals are varied. Only downside lack of deckchair for everyone. Very attentive bar staff

Staff are friendly and helpful, check in really quick & easy and room has everything you need. Nice swimming pool and chill area for during the day! Close to the sea front and to clubs like Ocean Beach, Cafe Mambo/Mint, etc. Would definitely stay again. :)

Booked for a hen do with a group of 6 girls, Hotel was clean, friendly staff, great location We upgraded to the premium rooms and it was definitely worth it, rooms were modern and faced the swimming pool, came with fridge, air con, tv, hairdryer, deposit box was extra but only 3 euro per night with 10 euro deposit which you got back, Hotel is 5 mins walk to the egg / west end *****, hotel can be quite lively at any point of day / night, seemed to be more of a younger crowd which suited us but may not be for everyone depending what you want, Breakfast was the usually hot selection (what I would call Spanish breakfast) wasn’t for us so we decide to eat out and found prices reasonable so didn’t bother us too much, Overall I would recommend, and would consider booking again in the future

The room was clean, well laid out and the beds were made every day. One day our air conditioning broke and before we mentioned it to the reception staff it had been fixed. The entertainment was excellent, although slightly too late at 9:30pm. The animation team were fantastic with the children and our boys loved the kids club! They always interacted with the children during the mini disco and we were impressed with the languages the staff spoke. The restaurant staff were always so helpful and friendly with us. The food was delicious and there was plenty of variety. We were half board plus, but I think that was enough. You wouldn’t get the quality of drinks/food we had when all inclusive at most hotels. Joshua taught the fitness classes, which we found to be an excellent standard. He is clearly very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about this. Overall a very relaxed and safe resort, with slices of the livelier ibiza with touches such as the saxophonist, who was the highlight of the entertainment for us. We enjoyed the fact that there were lots of locals using the resort as well so it didn’t feel like Brits abroad like previous places we have visited.

02/05/22. Dinner 2 persons. Belvedere Restaurant, Royal Plaza Hotel, Ibiza. Even if you are not a resident, you can be sure of exquisite cuisine in this comfortable room without the over-priced, over designed ostentatiousness of other, perhaps more well-known establishments on the island! This is, or should be, a well-guarded secret!… however tonight’s dinner was a revelation… I had a starter of Caprese salad that would do justice to any Italian place… my companion opted for a ‘main’ course of gambas in garlic with egg - a combination I’ve never encountered before! - I will return to savour this dish another day… My main: fish: Dorada fillet. This was cooked to absolute perfection and compliments were duly sent to the kitchen! No room for dessert … but coffees and brandy for me and more cava (gorgeous) which we had started with, for my hostess… The whole evening was a delight and because of a sudden downpour, more residents decided to eat here.. and like us we’re not disappointed… and the prices… well, has to be the best deal in town, considering the quality of the food! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ E.H.

Stayed in Anfora 5 years ago & loved it. Food was amazing! Return trip in October 2023 & hotel was spotlessly clean, staff pleasant, breakfast was good but evening meal was DREADFUL!! I am sorry to say this as last time we visited I couldn't praise it enough. Chef used to come out & chat - explain what was in menu., he was lovely & food was great. This year we had a few evening meals off menu & they were inedible, steak was like old boots, chicken fillet was wafer thin & hard & dry, couldn't get knife through it. The buffet food was trying to be tapas I think but failed miserably. It was kept luke warm which I felt was a health hazard as bacteria would be thriving in those conditions. One night they had Paella on the buffet, my goodness it tasted foul. Rice cooked in a VERY strong fish stock with a few king prawns on top, it was foul!! Inedible!! Nothing like paella. I was so very very disappointed. I would never stay half board again. I noticed as the week went on less & less people ate in the restaurant in the evening but breakfast was always busy, perhaps people gave up & ate outside the hotel. There was a salad bar which most nights I had lettuce tomato etc but it got rather boring. I must sing the praises of ladies who cleaned the rooms & public areas. They did an excellent job. The hotel was spotless!! I hope next year you improve your evening menus or you are going to loose business. I praised this hotel on last visit but sadly evening meal really let it down.

Everything was perfect. Drinks etc. Only the food was very disappointing to me, maybe I shouldn't have expected too much from it...

Funky hotel set up. The breakfast was faultless, great range of hot and cold food. Great choices for everyone. And who can’t enjoy eating your breakfast with a view al fresco style. Our double superior Room was spacious( not a fan of the single beds together though, they kept moving apart), clean and trendy. Chill out area was gorgeous and what a view. Pool was nice and such a chilled vibe area. Music was my style, but the alcohol choice was basic. Draught beer on tap didn’t work the 4 days I was there so was disappointing. Staff were all friendly and welcoming. Room was cleaned daily and was spot on with towel replacements. Slightly disappointed on the day we left we didn’t have time for breakfast so asked if we could have a vegetarian style breakfast which the hotel did for us early morning, but to find 2 slices of bread with some salad on it was slightly dissatisfying considering the great choice of breakfast they had on offer, so I felt slightly robbed of a breakfast I had paid for. Apart from this I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and I would recommend for couples looking for a chilled vibe adult only hotel, a 5 min walk to the San Antonio *****, including O beach and Ibiza rocks 10 min roughly and 20 min walk to sunset ***** also. Location was spot on! I would definitely stay again.
